But better sound quality and longer battery life are some of the key selling points.

Active(!) noise cancellation requires a power supply to power the additional microphones and processing that happens on such models. Hence you will only see ANC on headphones with batteries or USB interfaces, as USB can also send power in addition to the audio signal.

      There are brands that use ANC for just the best models, while the cheaper ones do not have.

      If you want great ANC, buy Sony or Bose.

          Also more battery life would be pointless since it has universal USB C port, also wireless charging which works well with reverse-wireless charging enabled phones.

            No need for ANC, we have the wings to cover the exterior sound.

              I've been considering the Galaxy Buds successor for a really long time and for me the only thing Galaxy Buds didn't offer was ANC, I will be truly disappointed if they end up lacking ANC (unless they're offered at $129)

                What's the point of not investing in ANC? Galaxy Buds already good and works well. Not adding key features will be a hard sell.
